The video tutorial explains the concept of fog, an atmospheric phenomenon caused by tiny water droplets suspended in the air, reducing visibility. It categorizes fog into types such as radiation fog, advection fog, and others, with a focus on those common in Taiwan. The formation of radiation fog is detailed, highlighting its occurrence during clear, calm winter nights. Advection fog is described as forming when warm, moist air moves over cooler surfaces. The tutorial emphasizes safety precautions during foggy conditions, especially in traffic and aviation, and advises monitoring weather reports for fog warnings.
